"When living with a neurological condition (or with a loved one who has one), it can be very easy to focus on the challenges and limitations.  But in my life, I have found that focusing on abilities, finding new ways to adapt, have been crucial to my successes in life. Seeking those solutions can even be seen as a form of creativity."
